Custom Formed Tray Ordering Process

Step 1 – Design & Engineering

After product specifications and requirements have been made available by the buyer, we will design the carton and tray in accordance with child safety and senior friendly certification requirements. Preliminary drawings of carton and tray die-lines will be provided to the buyer for approval.

Lead time shall be approximately 2 weeks.

In case the buyer wishes to change the drawings, step 1 will be repeated using the new input of the customer. The price indicated on our quote form is the price per set of drawings.

Step 2 – Prototyping

Upon receipt of written approval of the preliminary drawings from the buyer, 10 prototypes will be produced of both the carton and tray. These prototypes will be provided to the buyer for approval (5 prototypes to be signed and returned).

Lead time shall be approximately 1 week.

In case the buyer wishes to change the prototypes, steps 1 and 2 will be repeated using the new input of the customer. The price indicated on our quote form is the price per set of prototypes.

Step 3 – Final Approval

Upon receipt of the approved prototypes from the buyer, the drawings for carton and tray will be finalized and thereafter made available to the buyer, including material specifications and tolerances.

The die-line drawing for the carton can be used for preparing the artwork as well as for the production of the die-cutting tooling. The 3D file of the tray is available upon request and can be used as starting point for the manufacturing of the production mold.

Lead time shall be approximately 1 week.
